AGUACHILE DE CAMARÓN (SHRIMP)

By: Nathan Michael & Julia Flowers

If you’re looking for an appetizer or a way to spice up happy hour with friends, try the Aguachile de Camarón. A bright, refreshing way to enjoy SRFs shrimp.

Aguachile, like ceviche, is made by combining raw seafood and spicy lime juice which is served immediately to be eaten raw. If you prefer to let the lime juice break down and “cook” the shrimp, let the lime juice marinate the raw shrimp for 15 minutes in the fridge as a ceviche preparation.
